Is The Invisibility Cloak Possible?

How Long Till We All Have Invisibility Cloaks? They Might Be Closer Than We Expected

The upswing? These aren’t the only significant studies into creating this tech. Thanks to early successes, there are researchers popping up everywhere putting their own spin on making stuff invisible. The downswing? Many of these scientists aren’t even attempting to create something for human consumption, instead trying to use modified versions of these concepts to ‘make the world a better place’ by adopting them into medical procedures and cellular communication. What about looking at people naked without them knowing about it? Won’t that make the world a better place? No, actually, it won’t. Also, it's illegal.

There is perhaps one shining, violent beacon that will help get this tech into people’s hands sooner rather than later — the military. The U.S. military, for one, has shown a lot of interest in adapting some of these technologies for use in cloaking tanks and aircraft. There’s also a mysterious Canadian company called Hyperstealth that claims to have fully functional — and wearable — invisibility cloaks that use something called ‘Quantum Stealth’ technology. Being as how this would represent a multi-generational technological leap, skeptics are not holding their breath. Still, who knows, maybe they're onto something. For now, we’ll have to keep playing the waiting game. Oh well, maybe someone will invent the Holodeck in the meantime.
